Xbox 720 has Halo 5 being developed for it now says 343 Industries

Examiner writes, "The Xbox 720 and next-generation consoles seem to be a bit of a mystery in some respects, but not to 343 Industries as they seem to be working on next-generation development for Halo 5."

First comment says how crappy the 5 looks in the obviously photoshopped thumbnail picture, the rest of the comments are just bunch of off topic crap agreeing with the guy or claiming there's worse. That's N4G community for ya.

On topic:

""We've done as much prototyping and storytelling and the future arc of the universe as we have on technology.

"So we're definitely working on the future but in some ways it's technologically agnostic at this point."

So there's nothing that states that the guy said Halo 5 is being developed for sure for Xbox 720. And that's Examiner for ya.

You're an idiot. Last generation we only got two Halo games. This generation we have had two major Halo games (Halo 3 and Halo Reach), 1 spin off (Halo 3 ODST), and we are about to get a 3rd major Halo game (Halo 4). The Xbox 360 has been out since 2005.

How is that much different than 4 Uncharted games, 5 Ratchet & Clanks, 4 Resistances, etc?

There hasn't been a Halo out every year. Not even close. Halo Reach came out over two years ago. Halo 3 came out over 5 years ago.

The pace of new releases in the Halo franchise is actually fairly slow considering how wildly popular the series is.

Even before the grand celebration caliber release of the industry leading platform exclusive first person shooter franchise with Halo 4. Halo fans can rest assured that Halo will carry on into the next generation of Microsoft and online gaming. With Halo 5 being developed for the successor of the current generation leading HD platform the "Xbox 720".

News has been breaking out left and right for future next generation platforms. Even rumors of an E3 2013 showing. The world has been on the sidelines patiently waiting for future Xbox confirmation. 343 has just given us the evidence needed to insure that the future of Xbox live is lurking.

Day one purchase for the Xbox 720, and Halo 5 when available wherever videogames are sold.

Thank you for the support. Halo has a considerable amount of story left from past present and the future of the Halo timeline. There are books, side characters, and sub stories like the Forward to Dawn mini series. Which all have potential to be transferred onto disc for your future gaming experience. The fight is far from over in the Halo universe.

The halo universe is massive. It's as large as starwars an Star Trek. The lore is there. It doesn't have to revolve around cheif. There's the covenant wars, insurgencies, political issues, space development, how the covenant came to be, origin of the flood, the whole forerunner back story. I don't mind more halo so long as they keep it fresh ala halo 4 (which I got today an it's what reach SHOULD have been)

What do you mean another Halo? This is part of a new trilogy announced. And its not as if its being released annually, they are working on the next iteration of the game on next gen tech. Common sense would dictate that it would be prudent to do so.

Do you honestly think sequels to other FPS' like Killzone etc arent being worked on for next gen tech?

This is a good thing, unless of course you want a last minute rush job to get the game out on next gen consoles.

A bunch if you have the right writers & vivid imagination. here's a few stories deep Space exploration, planet colonization. Also it a FPS/RPG in which your a soldier so as long that there are society's or country's,planets governed by humans there's always a story to create & tell with your soldier.

@septic... this is N4G man... land of the SDF! Of course another Halo game is bad.

But if this was the 4th Uncharted game, or 4th Killzone, or 3rd Infamous or 4th Resistance, or 6th GT... it would be all cherries!

N4G... where your bubbles can go down in an instant for saying something like... I love Halo, can't wait for Halo 4... you say something like that in a Halo article, and boom.. SDF are bubble bursting everywhere.

On topic... Heck ya Halo 5 is coming! Maybe it will come out in same time frame that Gears did as a heavy hitter when it first came out. I don't think a new Halo will be ready by next Year when Durango comes out. Could be wrong though.

The better question, is why are there so many ps3 fanboy trolls in here offend in here attacking him and trying to smear him, trying to get people take his bubbles.

Saying he is trolling because he's saying good things about 360 in a 360 article as if It's normal for so many fanboys from Sony to be in a 360 article. Ps3 fanboys feeling purposely and personally attacked simply from hearing positive excited comments about the 360 in places PS3 fanboys shouldn't be that concerned with.

What fanboys from anothing console in vast numbers go into PS4 articles and attackes Sony fans for being excited for PS4? It's almot a mentally ill concept

He has that many bubbles because be's nintendo fan and ps3 fanboys rarely troll nintendo articles in relative to 360 articles.

The "LX-general" is one of the few posters on this site who has strong writing talent. The only other person that come to mine is "Alpha". Most the others are here to try and bully away opinion that don't support their views.

I have to admit, I never read LX-General-Kaos' posts, the first few lines always put me off. But man I'm so glad they exist because the reactions they get from people are hilarious! I can't believe how wound up people get over stuff like this. And for that I thank you LX-General-Kaos.

And furthermore announced even before the release of the 360 exclusive, Halo 4. Halo fans can expect that the Halo series will carry on to the next generation Microsoft console with Halo 5 being developed for the successor of the Xbox 360 the "Xbox 720".

News has been breaking out left and right for future next generation platforms. Even rumors of an E3 2013 showing. The 360 gaming community has been on the sidelines patiently waiting for future Xbox confirmation. 343 has just given us no real useful information if you read the article.

Day one purchases for the Xbox 720 and Halo 5 will be available at your local game stores and online as usual.

This shit is getting ridiculous. I'll admit that I'm VERY excited for this but Jesus, Halo 4 isn't even out yet. Might as well write an article on "Halo 7 being developed for Xbox 4". We all already knew this was gonna happen.

You do realize they said new TRIlogy, right? They already announced Halo 5 and 6 when they announced 4. There shouldn't be anything ridiculous about this. Halo universe is huge and there still is a lot of about the lore they haven't told, and this is including the games, books, comics, movies. They still hardly touched upon anything for a universe that is ever expanding.
